unfortunately, there's always going to be some person out there who will 
object to any kind of resolution, no matter how crazy they're being."

now, somebody going out of their way to eliminate options for other 
people (ie folks wanting to ban harry potter from libraries) is a WORLD 
AWAY from someone not being willing to declare a false belief on a daily 
basis (ie folks protesting mandatory national anthem/pledge of allegiance 
in public schools). i mean, it's all about freedom, isn't it? kids should 
be free to read what they want and believe what they want, right? (or 
parents should be free to monitor what their own kids read or what they 
believe in, depending on how you look at it.)

if i've misunderstood you, please smack me upside the head. ;)
